[Xen-users] Xen Questions

Hello,



I''m rather new to Xen I have a testbed running with 3 VMs on an old
Athlon XP 2400+ with 512mb ram.

So far the System is doing good.



I was wondering if anyone has some real life values from productive
Systems running Xen. I am planning to Replace a Virtuozzo Host with a
Xen Machine.

It is going to have 4GB of RAM and 2 Xeon CPUs with HT enabled. I am yet
unsure if its better to use LVM or NFS Storage for the Datafiles.



There will be 16 - 20 Virtual Machines running on the System, none with
more than 128MB RAM allocated to it. Most of them do not Produce lots of
CPU Usage or Disk I/O however there is short peaks where some of the
Servers will create a significant load.



Can I mix Debian and SuSE Virtual Machines without running into Problems
?

Is it also possible to run FreeBSD as VM ?



Last but not least does anyone know a good Support Company that would do
the basic Setup or check my Setup, I don''t want to run into Problems
later cause I missed a required Configuration Flag.





Thank you



Kind Regards
